He'd set his gaze back upon Carrie, a small frown still dawning his face.
" ๐๐ง ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ด๐ข๐บ ๐ด๐ฐ... "
He'd sigh softly, allowing some stress to be freed from his head..

[ She pulled the leopard into a small hug , before pulling back with a bigger smile . ]
" I'm just *really* glad you're okay ..! And here right now !
I've been kinda exploring around too , myself .. nothing really interesting to note though .. " :p
The moons face flushes a dark blue, tail swaying swiftly; he, of course, hadn't returned the embrace due to his awkwardness, but the gesture was enough to get him smiling like a dork again.
When she pulls back from the hug, he recollects his thoughts for a response.

his heart racing.
Guilt was the obvious culprit; the leopard quivering as he squeezes Carries hand softly.

The leopard takes the others hand as he grunts softly, getting onto his feet with an awkward smile as he sets his gaze upon the bat.
" ๐'๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ข๐บ, ๐ฏ๐ฐ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ด.. "
His ear twitches, a soft frown forming on his face in response to the others question.

[ She gasped when he fell out of the vent , immediately going to help Leo up . ]
" Ohmygosh--are you okay-??? "
[ She asked , frowning slightly . ]
" B-but also .. where have you even *been* ?! Its felt like .. so long ..! And I missed talking to my bestest friend ever !! " :<
" ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ - .. ! "
The leopard smiles weakly , attempting to wave whilst hanging out of the vent .. ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ถ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต'๐ฅ ๐จ๐ฐ , ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐บ'๐ฅ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ณ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ต .
He'd yelp as he loses grip , falling out of the vent .
[ She flinched at the sound of the lid landing onto the floor , luckily stepping back .
..
Her ears twitched slightly at the familiar voice she heard above her . She looked up , eyes widening . ]
" LEO !! " :D
The lid hits the floor loudly , the noise echoing throughout the empty hallway ..
.. that's when an all too-familiar face pops his head out of the vent , looking down at the bat .
" ๐๐ช . "
Nothing could be heard other than the echo of the bats footsteps .. eerie silence filling the air .
